Introduction :
Scientific inquiry is based on questionable and processable information from various reliable sources. It begins with observation which involves recording and analysis of the gathered information in an orderly manner.
Answer to Problem 12A
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (D) It is testable.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
Option (D) It is testable. Scientific inquiry is the process of gaining information about any occurrence by observation, investigation and processing of the information to draw out an explanation. The process follows the rules of science, is testable and open to criticism. So, the correct answer is option (D).
Explanation for incorrect answer :
Option (A) It possess question about astrology. Astrology is considered as a pseudoscience which relates to the study of movements and relative positions of celestial bodies and their influences on human affairs and natural world. It does not adhere to rules of scientific inquiry. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (B) It can be done only by one person. Scientific inquiry refers to diverse ways in which scientists study the natural world and propose explanation based on evidence derived from their work .So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (C) It is resistant to change and not open to criticism. Scientific inquiry is knowledge of gathering of information and investigation to create logical explanation and answer questions. The criticism of science or scientific inquiry helps to improve science, its relevance and role in society. So, this is an incorrect answer.
